For the past three years, the AI conversation has been dominated by scale. Bigger models, bigger compute clusters, bigger headlines. But the next wave of competitive advantage won’t come from who can rent the biggest model; it will come from who can build the smallest one that knows their business. That model is the small…
Every enterprise AI conversation seems to begin with the same question: Which model should we use? I understand why. Models are visible.

When a goal goes in during a tournament quarter-final and a hundred million people watch it at the same time, what they feel is the goal. The roar, the replay, the disbelief.

The biggest and loudest prediction about AI is that it will eliminate millions of jobs. It is dramatic and easy to repeat. But from what I’ve seen, inside most enterprises the more immediate problem has turned out to be something else entirely: a growing mass of tools, agents, models and usage costs spreading faster than…
The emergence of artificial intelligence is beginning to expose a profound weakness in the way modern enterprises measure performance. For decades, business evaluation systems have been built around the logic of the industrial and transactional economy. Revenue growth, operating margins, earnings per share, labor productivity, return on investment and market share became the dominant indicators…
